Thanks for the info. I would definitely wear the bag crossbody. I'm guessing the Aphrodite would wear better in that case. Not sure about wearing bucket bags crossbody. I was originally leaning towards the Aphrodite, but then all the Soulmate talk on the thread (and the relaxed look of it) made me waver a bit.

I have both and agree with what @lenie said. I personally like the style of the Soulmate Midi more because I tend to like slouchier bags, but the Aphrodite does have a more elegant look, especially with the side pleats. It's also narrower so it is easier to find your things in "her." Here are a few quick comparison photos I took (the Aphrodite could have been stuffed a little more, sorry); feel free to ask more questions!:IMG_20200918_212128.jpgIMG_20200918_212051.jpgIMG_20200918_212203.jpg

Oh, thank you! This is very helpful, but you made my decision even more difficult! :smile: I just love the relaxed look of your Soulmate including the gathered leather at the top. On the other hand, the Aphrodite has more of a refined shape.

I think I would use the Aphrodite more so I will probably get that. Next time though I might just get a Soulmate midi.

I just ordered my first soulmate midi, and I'm wondering about the strap length. I didn't alter the standard length but I notice that a few people have ordered it a bit longer. Opinions? The standard length is 8.5 I think, but it looks adjustable. What do people like?

I went with the standard but wished I had gone with what some others have done and extended the handles. It fits on my shoulder fine but I think I’m used to using totes that have regular length I guess rather than closer to my armpit.

Using my selene midi zip today to go to a drs appointment. Added two water bottle holders, one on each side but as you can see I use it to hold snacks and other junk rather than my daughters actual water bottle haha. Also added a back exterior pocket (I don’t usually put my wallet in there, just to show how deep the pocket is).

Soulmate Midi or Aphrodite for north-west, and I love Selene Midi for east-west packing! And this is brilliant....I never thought of adding two water bottle pockets. I missed this somehow. That's awesome! This is deep blue Africa correct? Lovely and sturdy!

Yes it is the deep blue africa. I love it. I don’t have anything like it in my collection. I missed out the first round so I leaped at the chance when he offered it again. Let’s hope it comes back in the future!

I just got this beauty from the BST group. I am really happy because it is a much better bag for me, both in terms of size and in color, than the bag I traded away. I have always wanted an Angelica Messenger and how I have one!

I swapped in a custom strap for a little bit of fun and color.

Angelica Messenger in Sangria Pebbled leather, silver hardware and gray lining. It looks really red in the direct sunlight picture, but it is actually a muted purple-leaning red/berry.

This is beautiful! I'm guessing he doesn't make these anymore since I don't see this style on the website.

Now that I know this style is probably still available, would you mind taking some side shots of the bag?
